People have answered your questions, time for you to answer some.
After 15 years, can you give one theory and outline how it supersedes inward bowing leading to vertical columns failures.
Just name one to start. CD, Thermite, Nukes, Lasers, Dustification.

You are the one that does not understand floor load ratings, sheared floor connections cannot transfer load to vertical columns,

Clearly you do not understand Newtons Third Law of Motion... and how it relates.
Regardless of where the load bearing locations were, when the collapsing mass lands on top of the mass below, the mass below would exert an equivalent upward force equal to the resistance of the load bearing locations. That force would overcome the supports, but the energy equation needs to be balanced which would present itself as a reduction in the rate of collapse.
Simple terms the rate of collapse should have slowed down over time.... this is not what was observed and in fact the rate of collapse accelerated...
This is the founding point of why we know that the OS is incorrect.

If only you could know how much of a joke you just made

No it wouldn't your forgetting something big.
But let me correct something first a building does not nor ever have upward force.
Regardless of where the load bearing locations were, when the collapsing mass lands on top of the mass below, the mass below would exert an equivalent upward force equal to the resistance of the load bearing locations.
But what your forgetting is
force and speed are interlinked and a building is not meant to handle anything but static force.
That force would overcome the supports, but the energy equation needs to be balanced which would present itself as a reduction in the rate of collapse.

No joke if you claim there isn't enough force than I suggest you either redo your math because your wrong .

Are you really that dumb
when a mass falls on a floor slab were do you think the reation wotks through THE TRUSS SEAT and the BOLTS that hold it in place the MASS the truss seat is connected to cannot provide extra resistance PLAIN & SIMPLE how do I know I SOMETIMES test them to destruction as part of my JOB

If you design a building who's floor load capacity exceeds the capacity of the vertical columns, you would be a pretty crappy engineer.
In your model, where is the breaking point for a 110 story building. If the building gave way so the top 54 floors fell onto the next lower floor, the 56 remaining floors would stop the collapse?

Another question you seem to ignore
After 15 years, can you give one theory and outline how it supersedes inward bowing leading to vertical columns failures.
CD explosives? CD Thermite? Nuke? Laser and Holograms? Dustification?
The evidence is so overwhelming you cannot pick a theory after 15 years?
